5 Charming Fall Homes

In honor of our “Pumpkin Savior” holiday, we’ve put together a list of five Moscow homes that, in our opinion, are especially suited for fall. These are the kinds of places where you’ll want to take a stroll with a hot cup of coffee, invite friends over for dinner, and set aside the weekend just for yourself.

“Badaevsky” — a touch of levitation

Your future home will be perched above historic buildings, on 35-meter-high supports. From the panoramic windows, you can watch as autumn transforms the colors along the banks of the Moskva River.

A bathhouse complex with steam rooms and plunge pools will open in the historic buildings. After a walk, it will be pleasant to warm up in the bathhouse and linger over a cup of tea. And for long dinners—there’s a restaurant in the historic building with large windows. Imagine a table by the window, a leisurely conversation, and golden leaves swirling outside.

“Lucky” — for culinary discoveries

Restaurants and coffee shops nestled among historic brick buildings in Presnya. In the morning—grab a date-and-chicory raff from “Kofemania’s” fall menu and take a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood.

In the evening—meet up with friends at “Gorynych,” order baked Camembert with lingonberries, and for dessert—apple and sea buckthorn charlotte. It’s only a few minutes’ walk home, so you don’t have to stop after the first dessert.

“Lavrushinsky” — a family fairy tale

The private courtyard-park features a stream, a pond for toy boats, and secret paths. Here, you’ll want to create autumn decorations together with the kids: pick out pumpkins, paint faces on them, and argue over whose turned out funnier.

And the next day, head over to the Tretyakov Gallery—it’s right next door.

“27 Savvinskaya” — for the golden hour by the river

Rounded bay windows and protruding balconies catch the low autumn sun. The metal on the facade takes on honey-colored hues, and the building itself seems to grow warmer.

Nearby are the Novodevichy Ponds. You can take a long walk among the trees, head down to the Moskva River, and return home just as the evening lights begin to reflect in the windows.

“Life Time” — for evenings at your own pace

Presnya, with its restaurants and city bustle, and within the neighborhood—its own park with ponds and places to relax.

On a sunny day—grab a coffee and stroll along the park’s paths, admiring the fall colors. On a rainy day—take a swim in the 25-meter pool and spend the evening at the spa. All within your own neighborhood.
